Our mission is to convey the message to as many people as possible. Baal HaSulam wrote about how much he suffered when he saw poor people wandering the streets and not knowing anything about the Creator and His control. If they knew about Him, they treated him improperly. Baal HaSulam’s dream was to reveal this information to people.

Thus, we have to reach everyone and make everyone an active part in connection with the Creator. The whole Israeli nation has to unite and to connect with the upper force in order to become the channel that conveys the Light. Today there are no restrictions and everyone should know about it.

Question: Is it true that in the discussion circles what is most convincing to people is not the arguments, rationale, or emotions, but the warm atmosphere in the circle?

Answer: There is a certain force in these discussions that operates on people. Even if only a small number of people participate in these discussions, it already spreads throughout the nation like a good “metastases” that spreads a new feeling.

A new state is appearing now not only in Israel but all over the world. It is a totally irrational state and the Israeli nation is irrational like its history.

Anti-Semitism, the attitude of the all the nations of the world towards Israel, is also totally irrational. After all, how can it be explained logically that such an enlightened and cultured people as the Germans committed the Holocaust.

There is no sensible explanation for that and it has nothing to do with religion. It isn’t an argument between Judaism and Christianity; look at how positively the Pope speaks about Judaism. He loves Israel while billions of people who follow him hate the Jews. The upper providence operates so that everything will seem totally irrational.

Therefore, we shouldn’t fear the fact that it makes no sense. We should only dress in the senselessness of the world and everything will take on the right and true form. In fact, all the nations will see that we manage this senselessness and that we have the explanation for everything, that there is a basis and a way to reveal all.

We can finally explain the reason for anti-Semitism to everyone, the conditions for the existence of the Israeli nation that will allow it to stay on the world map. We will be able to explain the special role of this nation, why it has undergone different ordeals throughout history, what the Torah actually says, and what the essence of all the religions and beliefs is.

Abraham laid the foundation for all the religions; they are all called the Abrahamic religions. They are the result of the “gifts” he sent to the East with the sons of his concubines. It is time to solve world’s problems.

We have entered a new era, and before us is to fully open this field of work.

Question: Have I understood correctly that in the physical world and in the spiritual world envy operates differently? If in the physical world I want to annihilate the object of my envy, in spiritual work it works the other way around. I don’t know what spirituality is, but I want to feel it, so I yearn to get this through the object of my envy.

Answer: Indeed, the more envious you are of the spiritual desire of your friend, the more you benefit.

Question: I was a child of the Soviet Union. It turned out that a yearning was awakened in us for such things, which, in principle, were closer to spiritual than physical prosperity. So was this the right direction?

Answer: In the Soviet Union, the  correct understanding is education based on our egoistic desires and physical aspirations to become the strongest nation, to rule the world, to manage it, and show everyone the whip. If the leadership of the country had acted correctly, it would have been engaged with education for people and would not have aspired only to better manage people.

The problem is in this. According to what Baal HaSulam wrote, everything was organized here for the sake of a lofty egoistic goal and not for the sake of an altruistic goal directed toward the Creator. This is because the Creator is, in principle, all of us united into a general single whole. This is the whole of creation, all of humanity and all of nature in full mutual bestowal. The characteristic called the Creator is specifically discovered here. Outside of us, the Creator doesn’t exist.

If the Soviet Union had existed for this, it would have educated the people correctly and not in order to be the strongest in order to oppress others, instill fear, and demand respect. If there had not been an immense ego standing at the head of belligerent politics, then certainly everything would have been otherwise. But since all of this was for the sake of big egos, not for the people, but for the leadership of the people itself, everything crumbled.

And it is certainly crumbling now with an even greater noise since arrogance has been rising: “We! We! We!” “We will show everybody.” “We are going our own way.” “We are the smartest, the strongest,” and so forth. All of this will very rapidly collapse. A nation cannot exist like this and it will come to Nazism. The fall of the Ukraine is a sign of what can happen to Russia. And all of this is because they put a very great, powerful ego at the head.

In no way do I wish anything bad for this nation. I consider it my homeland to a certain degree, but it has taken a completely wrong direction. Neither the congress nor the huge national ego can keep the country from disintegrating.

This is absolutely against every outlook, the entire flow of nature and every line of development. And so it will disappear very rapidly as if it never existed. The Soviet regime existed for 70 years, and it will all pass away very quickly now.

The Torah, “Leviticus,” 12:2, 12:4: Speak to the children of Israel, saying: If a woman conceives and gives birth to a male, she shall be unclean for seven days; as [in] the days of her menstrual flow, she shall be unclean. And for thirty three days she shall remain in the blood of purity; she shall touch not touch anything holy, nor may she enter the Sanctuary, until the days of her purification have been completed.

What is the meaning of purification? It is the scrutiny of our desires and our intentions and then the recognition of evil in them and the clarification of the right way of using them.

Then they are classified, picked out, and desires that cannot be used are kept away. But they remain inside, and so we have to place certain barriers to block them, to limit them in certain frameworks. All this is fulfilled in a period of 33 days.

Where does all that stem from? There are seven Sefirot in each Sefira Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, and Netzach, which add up to 28 and 5 other Sefirot in Hod (Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod) which total 33. This is identical to the counting of the Omer (33 of the Omer).

This means that 33 days (33 levels) have to go by in order to make sure that all the upper sources are corrected. The others don’t need to be corrected since they will be corrected by themselves.

The Torah, “Leviticus,” 12:5: “And if she gives birth to a female, she shall be unclean for two weeks, like her menstruation. And for sixty six days, she shall remain in the blood of purity.”

A female symbolizes the work on two systems: both the attribute of bestowal and the attribute of receiving. This is the reason that everything is doubled.

A male is the attribute of bestowal and a female is the attribute of receiving in order to bestow. Therefore, it is about a double system. Everything is very simple; it is pure physics. This is how the soul works.

The Torah, “Leviticus,” 20:12: And a man who lies with his daughter in law both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed a depravity; their blood is upon themselves.

“Lies with his daughter in law” means the incorrect connection between the lower and the higher level of the spiritual system.

The lower level can directly contact only with a father and a mother because it has a common direct connection with them. All other communications are considered secondary.

If the lower degree comes into a wrong contact with a higher degree, it results in a short circuit. The lower degree can receive light from the higher degree, only through certain filters, the so-called gradation Tselem (Tzadik, Lamed, Mem),  i.e., the image and likeness. As it is written, “By His own image I created a man.”

The spiritual system is designed so that the Creator comes first, second is His image and likeness, and then the degree of a man. Therefore, the image and likeness are filters, the system of gradual reduction of an impact towards a person to the point where one becomes something similar to the Creator but still remains at a lower level than the Creator.

This is a light attenuation system of filters, which are divided into many categories, such as, the quality of light, its amount on the left and right lines, etc. While explaining this system, Baal HaSulam gives an example of a person who can look at the sun only through special sunglasses.

Question: The name of the weekly section in the Torah called “Ki Tazria” can be translated as: to sow, to plant, to conceive, to give birth. Does that mean that it refers to different things?

Answer: No. It is about the same actions but on different levels: vegetative, animate, and spiritual.

It order to give birth to something, we must first collect something; to clarify and purify different things that we don’t need and that can only harm and become an interruption. We have to sort them out and to understand what needs to be separated and what we don’t need. Only then is a new state born. Here we are given the instructions how to do so.

If the previous section tells us about the vegetative level and how to plant, raise, and reap the crops, now it is about the same thing but in a person, in a mother. The birth of every body and its development take place according to the same rules but on a different level each time. First, it is on the level of the corporeal body and then the same thing happens on a moral level, on the level of recognition, the level of consciousness, etc.

The Torah, “Leviticus,” 12:6 – 12:7: And when the days of her purification have been completed whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a sheep in its first year as a burnt offering, and a young dove or a turtle dove as a sin offering, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, to the Cohen.

And he shall offer it up before the Lord and effect atonement for her, and thus, she will be purified from the source of her blood. This is the law of a woman who gives birth to a male or a female.

Offering a sacrifice means to get closer to the Creator, when I can correct myself by taking additional desires and receiving the Light of correction unto them. In other words, I take a sacrifice in my desires and sacrifice them to the Creator to be used in order to bestow.

Now after the birth of my new spiritual figure in the form of a man, I have to identify these additional desires inside me from the lower animate level. It is because a person is born from a corporeal body that still has these attributes (a lamb for a burnt offering and a young dove or a turtle dove, etc.), which can be corrected in order to bestow.

These are additional corrections, that is, I corrected myself on the human level and was born on the next level, and what is left are different desires on the levels of the still, vegetative, and animate nature are offered to the priest (Cohen).

The Cohen is the highest level of correction in man in which he raises inside him desires of the animate level (a lamb, a young dove or a turtle dove) and corrects them; first he kills their animate life and then he raises them to the level of human use but in a revised form.

Here there are already the laws of the Kashrut: how to slaughter and to process the animals and in what and who is allowed to eat them, during what hours, etc. But all these are spiritual categories, not corporeal ones.

“And she will be purified from the source of her blood” means that the descent of the desires that cannot be corrected will stop. Blood is the lowest, most impure desire! Blood (Dam) comes from the word “Domem” (inanimate level). It is impossible to correct this desire. We should wait only for the source of blood to stop and begin the correction of the next level.

The Torah, “Leviticus,” 20:11: And a man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon themselves.

This speaks about the higher degree versus the lower degree.

There is a special combinatorics between a father and a mother that is, among all the men who are at the highest level next to the father, and all women who are at the same level next to the mother. There is only one type of communication here: father, mother, and me. I will not be able to go up to the next level in any other way.

I cannot be in contact with either the left (female) or the right (male) part of the higher degree if they do not correlate to me. In this case, between the higher degree and mine there will be no regular communication, and without it the Light will not work.

Therefore, the prohibitions of the Torah are presented categorically, because if I wrongfully use the degree I am at now, although I have achieved it with a great difficulty, I will lose it. Therefore, there is a general rule: “It is preferred to sit and do nothing than to do something wrong.”

Question: In the spiritual world, all communications that do not give rise to the next level are forbidden. What does “forbidden” mean?

Answer: This is a ban for the wrong contact with the higher degree. If you are at the point at which you begin the contact, if you want to climb one degree higher to attain the Creator, every time you attain Him deeper and deeper, such a descent eventually lowers you.

This is similar to a child’s game when by advancing the chip you move towards the finish line and suddenly you are thrown backward.

Question: If we speak about the connection of the levels of the upper, the middle, and the lower, then the upper is the teacher, the middle is us, and the lower is the 99% of humanity. Sometimes we manage to feel the unity between us and sometimes we don’t. How can we constantly hold on to the point of unity in order to convey the importance of unity to the people?

Answer: In the articles of Rabash it states that the friends should gather and speak about the greatness of the Creator and the greatness of the teacher. Of course, neither the Creator nor the teacher needs that, but it is necessary in order to raise the students.

If we raise those through whom we receive the Light, we thus connect to the upper source and begin to receive bestowal from Him. Then the understanding of unity and the connection with the upper source are revealed among us.

When we go out to the external circles, the feelings and understandings of this unity and the connection with the upper are conveyed to them.

Just like children who learn many things from their parents, whether they want to or not, and imitate them in different ways like their characteristic behaviors and habits, and their positive and negative responses, so will the external circles receive our feeling of unity and connection to the upper source. This happens in a natural manner.

The wisdom of Kabbalah doesn’t speak about anything that is supernatural, but only about how to learn to be one whole in order to be in harmony with the still, vegetative, and animate levels, to learn from nature, which is what everyone is calling for today.

People used to believe that we had to conquer nature, that we are above nature and smarter than nature. Now everyone is beginning to understand how stupid and much more limited we are than nature. Nature is perfect!

The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us how to learn from nature and how to reach a state in which we will discover its total integrality, the deep and total mutual connection. If we attain that, the masses will also accept it and perceive it since our thoughts and feelings will flow unto them. They will begin to think like us and also perceive everything as we do.

Why is it that what people think that whatever happens on one side of the world is suddenly understood on the other side? It is because we are all mutually connected.

Therefore, when we go out to people and connect to them, the direct mutual connection works. We will perceive their different yearnings and they will perceive ours. Their shattered yearnings and their egoistic desires will force us to yearn for unity in order to correct them. Our unity and connection to the upper will help them perceive it and focus themselves in that direction for correction.

The Torah, “Leviticus,” 20:9: For any man who curses his father or mother there be that curseth his father or his mother shall be put to death…

The upper level is called Aba and Ima (Father and Mother). The lower level is its sons and daughters, or ZON.

If the lower level doesn’t respect and honor Aba and Ima, which means that it doesn’t want to ascend and be under the upper level, it cannot grow and thus detaches itself from them as if killing itself.

To respect and honor means to annul yourself before the upper level. This is what the ascent of the lower levels is based on since the state of its first ascent is the state of an embryo. An embryo can already exist in the upper only if it totally annuls itself before the upper. To curse means to assume that the laws according to which the upper level exists are not higher than the laws according to which the lower level exists.

The section Kedoshim is the main section of the Torah and is translated as “Holiness.” Holiness is the level of Bina, the level of absolute, complete ascent above all egoistic desires. Therefore the right fulfillment of all the laws described within it should bring us to a state of bestowal.

Comment: But the system of prohibitions is examined in this section and tells us what will happen if we sin.

Answer: The prohibitions are not in order to scare us. Fear doesn’t help a person. We are made so that nothing can stop us. Moreover, it isn’t about fear of rulers in this world or fear of being punished by the Creator as considered by religions.

This specifies the option of sin and the punishment. We should understand the whole chain of spiritual actions so as to prevent any movement toward sin and to avoid committing acts that are prohibited. It is by such acts that you detach yourself from the ascent and by which you harm no one but yourself.

The correct understanding of the whole system, meaning the entrance, the exit, the inner part of the system, the way it works, etc., isn’t just a condition but the concealed laws of nature, which we don’t feel. Therefore it says, “Don’t behave that way, don’t do that.”

These are basically internal laws, which means they relate to the the desire, the intention, and the mind and heart. They are explicit and relate to the general system of nature, but they are concealed from us and we cannot see them unless we begin to implement them.

We begin to feel part of the laws of nature from birth by trial and error, just like a baby who finds that some things work while others don’t. He looks at others and repeats their actions, gets stuck on something and cries, which means that he gets used to what is allowed and what is forbidden.

There are laws of mutual relations between people that say, “This is allowed and this is forbidden,” but a person still doesn’t see the hidden meaning within them. Gradually, he begins to understand that he can be punished for some things and in regard to others, he is allowed to continue. He begins to realize that some things are not nice, and here the shame, envy, and the desire for control stop him, which means that different desires guide and direct him.

There are also laws that he doesn’t feel at all, when he doesn’t feel giving or bestowal from the environment and society, and these are also laws of nature! These are the laws that the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us and this is the reason it is called the concealed part of the Torah.

On the whole, these are the same laws and the same morality, but they are felt on a level that humanity has to reach in order to fulfill. Today we have reached a level that we have to fulfill the laws of general life on this planet, which has become a small, all inclusive area.

We see how borders are nullified and no matter where we go, it is the same mass culture everywhere. People are beginning to realize that everything is collective. If there are any unique local characteristics, they do not stem from the depths of history, but are artificially created in order to attract tourists.

We have changed internally and have become cosmopolitan, living in one common space. We preserve what existed before only in order to profit from it. The unique attribute of our times is a pragmatic approach to everything that once seemed holy and that we considered our legacy.

Now we have to keep the laws of unity, but unfortunately, we don’t feel the actual unity, nor living on one planet like one family totally dependent on one another.

The Torah tells us how all of humanity should attain the correct, cooperative life. Previously very few knew the essence of the Torah, but today its revelation to the world in its true light is required.

Thus, the nation that was given the laws that tell us how to live in unity penetrates the nations of the world like a river and begins to raise them to that level. At the same time, we need to constantly remind people that we did not invent these laws, these conventions and customs, and neither did anyone else. They are simply the laws of nature. Now we have simply arrived at a new level of our development from the still, vegetative, and animate levels to the human level.

Before that we lived and grew like animals, instinctively fulfilling what developed within us. Now, however, and despite our animal level, we should consciously begin to somehow get closer to other people even though we are repulsed by it. This is the human level that is opposite in every way from the animal level. This is the level we are now reaching.

Therefore, the Torah is becoming increasingly more relevant today.
